Getting a vasectomy on Fri. Can't take my anti-inflammatory this week, I am in a LOT of pain.
I am usually in a lot of pain, but this is unusual. I can hardly chew, my ears are killing me and my back... wow.

Having to come in on a planned day off to do something because you are the only one that knows how to do it.

On the upside, it is job security...

No worries. I just found it odd when my name came up, when the last problem on my mind yesterday was how many threads you start. That was the realm of other Cellarites methinks. Like I said, I don't think I did any dissing at all to you. The poll was for funsies, and I thought you would like it too, so if that offended I'm sorry.

Anyhoo, some people don't like a lot of new threads and some do. I don't mind; I have become involved in many you have started that I've enjoyed. If I'm not interested I just skip it.

It's just personal preference, so don't take it personally. (I'm a great advice giver but don't follow my own advice.)

You're forgetting that there's a reason Congress' approval ratings are about 26%. I'd say it's the foolish behavior of the Jackass Party.

I don't get particularly wound up about people being critical of W per se. Dumping on him on the basis that he has an (R) after his name, though, strikes me as the bloviations of inferior mentality. For God's sake, what has the man done but take down two despotisms -- two despotisms more, in his first four years, than all the Democratic Presidents have done in the previous fifty.

Despotisms and despots dying are good things, and our world needs much more of this. Despotic regimes behave badly, all the time, whereas democracies are far better global citizens. Complaining about making this happen and moving to sabotage it is but the solidest evidence that the Democrats are in the grip of a singularly inferior mentality, an utter incompetence at foreign policy.

I don't like an incompetent foreign policy. I prefer what the Republicans are doing -- they actually try to further the Republic's interest by winning, not retreating. God help our planet if the Democrats' present ideas of foreign policy gain currency. They'll buy us a great big war.

History will vindicate W and will vindicate those like me who support him.

Cloud, if you're referring to comments I made in that thread I didn't mean to imply that that's what you were. It was something someone else said that made me think of it and then I was just venting because I was a bit peeved. Sorry if I made you feel bad. It wasn't my intention at all.

Ducksy, that's really sad. I hope you don't let it get you down for too long mate.
